Saffron for me too(V70R). The wife has a classic red 940S (that may be going for spares soon). Incidentally, I've heard saffron referred too as gold, yellow and orange. I've also heard saffron called by other names too but they weren't very nice so I'll not list them here. What name is the colour known by officially?

I thought I would add the colour of my latest car on the poll..

940 Limo=Black,19 or 019.
740 GLE=Blue/Green metallic,402-21.
240 SE =Dark Blue.406-03
Regards Brian.

Just had a rough count and approx 267 codes listed on here!

My favourite sounding are:

Aleution/Blue 121.
Shenandoah Green 123.
Moondust Metallic 443.
Mystic Silver Metallic 426.

See I'm not one of those over enthusiastic members who likes to get things right?

Saffron Gold Pearl

I drive a Flame Red Metalic 480 so I voted red obviously. My V70 though is Nautic Blue Pearl Looks lovely polished.

So when you're all at the same party, does it happen that one of you goes to the wrong car?
